Description
Designed throughout by Nuvolari Lenard, DB9 is an iconic 52-metre Palmer Johnson 170 combining unmistakable styling, exhilarating performance and outstanding outdoor living. Her lightweight aluminum construction and powerful propulsion deliver a top speed of approximately 31 knots, while her shallow draft provides access to cruising grounds unavailable to many yachts of comparable size.
DB9 offers exceptional amenities, including an impressive eight-meter foredeck swimming pool, an infinity Jacuzzi aft, a second Jacuzzi on the sundeck and an open-air cinema. Her contemporary interior features a monumental chandelier above a striking backlit stone bar.
DB9 accommodates up to 12 guests across five en-suite staterooms, including a spacious full-beam owner’s suite. More than €5 million was invested in a comprehensive refit at Monaco Marine and Shipyard Portosole Sanremo over the last 3 years.
